Dylan Mills, aka Dizzee Rascal, is arguably the top grime artist around. He has four albums under his belt, (Boy in da Corner, Showtime, Maths + English, Tongue N' Cheek) and an eagerly awaited fifth LP due later this year. He'll be speaking exclusively to the Guardian this week and, ahead of that, we've put together this gallery charting his development as an artist.
Blending hip-hop, grime and eclectic samples has landed him several UK No 1s, including Dance Wiv Me, Holiday, and festival favourite Bonkers. However, since his mainstream breakthrough, various other producers and MCs emerged and forged their own successful paths.
Now the competition is stiffer, we're hoping for great things from the fifth Dizzee album. While he prepares to make his comeback we'd like to hear your thoughts about his music. What's your favourite Dizzee Rascal song, and why? Did he catch your eye when he first hit the mainstream with Dance Wiv Me alongside Calvin Harris? Or was it when he released Sirens? Or has it all been downhill since I Luv U?
If you'd like to participate, please email adam.boult@guardian.co.uk before 8am on Friday 22 June, with up to 200 words on your favourite Dizzee moment. When you email, please include your Guardian username and your real name (let us know if you object to having your real name used). We'll pick five entries for publication. The subject line of your email should be "Readers' panel".
